    It's blowing up on Twitter and the reported deal is the Maloofs are selling the Kings to a Steve Balmer-Seattle based group for $500 million. The Sonics would play the first two season in Key Arena, starting this Fall and then move onto the new arena.

    Here's the link: Sacramento Kings Moving To Seattle

    Soooooo, what division would they be in ? Would we then take the team furthest south and move them to Sac's division ?

    I guessing that if it they do move Oklahoma City & Seattle will switch divisions.  Also they might change there team's name. I am also guessing the Blazers/Sonics  rivalry will be back.

    I hope they switch OKC and SEA.  Less travel.  The NW division is brutal - .576 win %.  The Pacific is at .520 win %.

    Ahhh yeah...the I5 rivalry back again.  Miss the days of Kersey v Xavier.  Good times.  Both small markets benefit.  Portland has taken a hit since Seattle lost their Sonics.

    Rumor I've heard today is that when Seattle gave up the franchise that became Thunder, part of the deal was that both the "Sonics" name as well as the team colors were to stay reserved for Seattle...

    I do not think Washington would make the trade proposed by Nuno.  But  it would be nice.  Stay away from Varejao.

    Maybe if any of the teams holding one of the top three picks would be interested in #10 plus all of the three second round choices in an effort to add resources.  At least it is worth a shot.  Then  if we could get Oladipo we could go ...
